Position
Described as having a reputation as one of the country’s pre-eminent fraud practitioners and a brilliant lawyer, who puts his life and soul into his cases, Tony Shaw KC has been mentioned or ranked every year in the field of Fraud by annual directories since 1989. His practice in serious Business Crime & Fraud, corporate and financial crime is extensive.
It pre-dates the creation of the SFO and the FSA/FCA, when he was instructed as a junior to represent the principal defendant in the SFO’s first major trial (Guinness). He is said to be a highly convincing jury advocate with a nice touch with judges and juries.
Tony principally defends, although he has also prosecuted for the SFO and the FCA. His legal expertise is wide. He is said to be scholarly and intellectual. For many years he has written for and edited some of the leading publications in corporate crime, serious fraud and conspiracy, including Archbold, OUP’s Fraud loose-leaf and Practical Law’s Business Crime and Investigations.
Tony strongly believes in the benefits of working as part of a team. He works very closely with solicitors and always complements the work they have done. He is very good at using new technology to aid case management and is technologically savvy.
He is analytical, commercially focused, attentive to business and client objectives, and extremely user friendly. He advises corporate clients on internal investigations into financial crime and corruption issues arising both at home and abroad.
